I know I've contacted you in-game lol, but I thought I'd post on here too :P
But yeah, a good way of making that ISK donation happen, is to actually advertise the Corp/Alliance or even Player who is donating with a small 15-20 second (or more if they give well :P) advert dedicated to them that they have made, perhaps between segments or at the beginning of the broadcast before the opening scene even starts. IDK. This may make you feel as if you're sending players into other corps, but remember that you have an advert for you own corp at the start and end of each episode too :) EVE is all about community, and if other player can influence "evecast.tv" it'll create a community feel to the program too...if you know what I mean 
I'm sure people would HAPPILY "donate" ISK if you were to give a kind of reward back to them such as an advertising slot.
Also, I agree totally with Soldara's post, memorising the script, and not necessarily sticking exactly to it may actually give a more relaxed feel. Maybe even memorising the details of the script, and what order to say stuff in, and then making it up as you go along. Pauses for thinking about what to say next might actually help the conversation the "presenter" is having with the "viewer" to feel more personal and make the viewer feel as if he is a part of the production as a whole, mistakes and all.
If you watch NewsTV presenters, they talk to the viewer as if we're their friends lol.
I SAY KEEP THE GLASSES!!! It might turn out to be a distinctive feature that means people can relate to you better "VampireZIM...the one with the shades" :D The same about co-presenter, (Sorry, name eludes me.), a distinctive feature that means his "Presenter personality" shines through a little will help things. It doesn't have to be something material, maybe a different background scene with a short dedicated segment.
As you get a few suggestions about new segments, I'm sure there'll be one he is suited to.
That is all :P KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I'M LOVING IT!
ps. These are all productive critisms, none of them are intended to insult, and the fact that I'm bothering to post this essay shows that I think your program is worth my effort to do so. Keep having fun guys ;) Don't let it get too serious, it'll be the destruction of the project if it does!
